Citizen Foss

I’ve just learned that I’ve been appointed one of the 16 members of the Community Advisory Group for the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant’s Master Plan. I “will participate in a three-year process to develop a Plant Master Plan, which has recently been launched to guide improvements to the Plant’s facilities, operations and land use over the next 30 years.”

On a related note, I attended the preview of the new Willow Glen branch library yesterday evening, and I was pleased to see that the outdoor landscaping is irrigated with recycled water. Increasing use of recycled water will be a major goal of mine in this new committee position. When Minnesota Avenue was being torn up a month or so ago, I wondered whether it was bringing purple pipe to the new library, so I was excited to see the purple sprinkler heads yesterday evening. Now that we have purple pipe in Willow Glen, what else can we do with it?
